American Planet Labs satellites may have photographed what are presumably self-propelled launchers of the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) in Belarus. This was reported by the Telegram channel Voyennaya khronika.
According to the source, the launchers were detected at the Krichev-6 airfield in the Mogilev Region.
The image shows six vehicles up to 17 meters long. It is quite likely that this is equipment for combat duty support, communications, or escort. It is possible that these were the very vehicles already demonstrated by the Russian Ministry of Defence in late December 2025.
There has so far been no official information about the Oreshnik launchers. Military analysts, while analyzing footage from Belarus in March 2025, suggested that in the case of the MRBM, it could be a more compact six-axle MZKT-79291 chassis, which had previously been used for the Rubezh system.
